Currency Exchange: Dub Reggae for the New Year!
Saturday, December 31st, 2011 by The Professor
Join DJ Seth Michaels on Sunday 1/1/12 to celebrate the new year in chill style – Dub Reggae on The Currency Exchange.
My first exposure to reggae music came through the work of Lee “Scratch” Perry, and before that, the Clash. These artists took recorded music to new levels through studio manipulation and creation of “Dub” versions of familiar songs. Although I love all forms of reggae, I think Dub holds the most appeal to me. The general lack of vocals leave the music more open to interpretation and can fit any mood. The throbbing bass and hypnotic drums scaffold an ever-changing soundscape, while wide open spaces highlight the importance of playing not just the notes, but the moments between them. While some complain that dub (and reggae in general) can be repetitive and boring, I find that the layering of various instruments, strange echo effects, and the drop-in/drop-out technique of mixing rewards repeated listening.
